Chemical Analysis of Contaminated Land

This book provides a unique source of reference on the chemical
analysis of potentially contaminated land. It assists in specifying
appropriate analyses, relevant strategies for carrying out
analyses, and methods of interpreting results within the new
risk-based legislative framework for contaminated land. It
addresses all aspects of the analysis, from delivery of the samples
to the laboratory to the presentation of the results to the
clients. Emphasis is placed on concentrated, tabular data, wherever
possible. Problems of analysis are highlighted and solutions are
proposed. Asbestos is covered in detail in the chapter on inorganic
parameters, and a chapter is included on the new techniques of
ecotoxicity measurement.

Directed equally at the analytical chemist and the
environmental scientist or engineer responsible for commissioning
analyses of potentially contaminated soil or water samples, the
book is written in a way that will prove helpful to both new and
experienced practitioners. As such, it is one of the first volumes
to bridge the gap between the customer and the supplier.

"This book provides a good guide to some of the techniques on the
chemical analyses of potentially contaminated land."Chemistry and Industry, 2003

"This is a very well written book with a comprehensive review of
the numerous tests that may be used to evaluate contaminated land.
It should be extremely useful both to the bench chemist as well as
to the engineer who has responsibility of understanding safe site
cleanup and a desirable end point for that process."Journal of Hazardous Materials 2004

"The advantage of this book is that it compiles together several
chemistry-related issues that are usually found in separate
books."

"This book is useful for those who want to get an overall view
of the analysis of chemicals in soils, and for those who want to
learn about the analytical processes used for this, including
sample preparation, analytical concepts, method validation and
quality assurance/quality control." Anal Bioanal Chem
2006

"Chemical Analysis of Contaminated Land is a unique
source of reference on the chemical analysis of potentially
contaminated land... This book is directed at analytical chemists,
environmental scientist and engineers who are responsible for
commissioning analyses of potentially contaminated soil or water
samples... The book bridges the gap between customers and the
suppliers."Carbohydrate Polymers
